How can I kill mex automatically when logging out (like something in the
.logout file) ? If mex is left running, anyone can come along and start
a new shell as the old user -- doesn't this seem to be a real problem ?!
Thanx
Here is a copy of my .logout. It does what you want provided you don't
have any extra text windows around (i.e., more than the console window).
-- cut here --
if ($term == wsiris) clear
ismex
if ($status == 1 && `tty` == "/dev/console") then
# Kill off mex the hard way
# This still doesn't get rid of any textports! *Sigh*
(sleep 2; kill -9 ` ps x | grep 'mex$' | awk '{print $1}' `) &
endif
echo -n "logout " $user " "; date;
-- cut here --
